Besides UW, what other school in recent memory has achieved less athletically with more talent?

Consider:

2014 Football: 3 first round picks (Shelton, Peters, and Thompson) and second rounder H. Kikaha


2016 Basketball: #8 overall (Chriss) #29 (Murray)
2015 Basketball: #28 (Wilcox)
2014 Basketball: #8 overall (Ross) #25 (Wroten Jr.)

3 years, 5 first rounders, zero NCAA tournament appearances.

    True story overall but Ross and Wroten were drafted in 2012 and Wilcox in 2014. Time to hire a research minion.
